Paul Chiusano's Strange Loop 2019 talk introduces Unison, an open-source functional language for distributed, elastic systems. It covers content-addressed code identified by hashes of the syntax tree, a codebase manager, and algebraic effects called abilities.
Why HN recommends it: HN treats it as the best introduction to Unison, with commenters finding hash-addressed immutable code mind-blowing.
